Abstract
This paper aims to assess the planned changes to the Polish Competition Act of 2007 discussing in detail the introduction of a legal institution which is a novum for the Polish legal system – leniency plus. The goal of leniency plus is to grant an additional fine reduction to an entrepreneur that submitted an unsuccessful leniency application (which, under the current law, would not give rise to a fine reduction), but disclosed to the NCA information on another, so far unknown illegal agreement in which that company participates. The paper first discusses the institution of leniency plus and criticizes its economic justification, its proposed form and in determining the meaning of “another” agreement.
